I just want to see if it would be possible to use the HDMI cable so you can see the internet bowser on the TV. Messages, pics, or NES and SNES would be nice to. I just spent 30 bucks for this cable and the only thing I can do with it is watch my videos I made or watch youtube. Does anyone have any Ideas to maybe make this work?

I'm looking for a durable and strong case and holster combo. I work for a police department and need one for my duty belt that won't let the phone fall out if I'm involved in a foot chase, also needs to be strong in case I'm involved in a fight

What can you recommend?a lot of my coworkers have old droid and they have really good cases that come with strong holsters but they're unbranded
[Droid X Accessories] bojangalz:
Very noble career if I must say so myself (I'm a 7-year law enforcement vet myself). I purchased a Shell/Holster Combo from cheapdroids.com yesterday. It's the closest thing that I've found to reasonible so far. I've seen similar OEM's on ebay for $50. I spoke to cust service there and they stated that the X only fits in the holster when the shell is attached to the back. This brings the total width of the phone to about even with the hump. I really only purchased it because I'm intending on replacing the ipod with this phone and wanted a good holster for jogging.

I'm guessing this isn't going to work for you though. There's no way that belt clip is going to be big enough or strong enough to stay on a duty belt. Personally I just carry the phone in my shirt pocket. It's slim enough where it's never going to be seen and I've already had to run with it in there; it's stays put.

I'd say the chances of it breaking in a scrap are just as good there as on your belt.
[Droid X Accessories] TheFuzz:
I too am a police officer and bought the stock case from verizon. I would not use it though on my duty belt. The case is strong enough and secure. But if you wear a 3" belt like I do then the clip is not going to actually fit around the bottom. It will only slide on.

IMO no holster is secure enough for working on the road. Brides I don't know about ur department but ours will not reimburse you over 100.00 for any personally owned equipment broken on the line of duty.

Having said that, take a look at sedio cases, they are about the most secure.
[Droid X Accessories] Nolesfan93:
If Otterbox comes out with one, get that. A friend of mine has one of their cases and it's bulletproof. Luckily I don't work the road anymore, so my holster works just fine.
[Droid X Accessories] ksizzle9:
GOOD NEWS: otterbox just put up a coming soon for the DX. Although there has been one of those for the dinc for like 3 months. Can't wait to get it though.
[Droid X Accessories] Calvus Aquila:
For your requirements I would consider a skin from seidio (they are in development now) and then take the X to a leather worker and have a holster made. They will be able to ensure a solid fit and do the basket weave to blend with your service belt. That is if you are using the leather duty belt.
[Droid X Accessories] sp1kez:
Went head and bought one that they sell at verizon wireless for $30

I\The shell only protects the back of the phone, and you put the screen facing inwards on the holster.

It works, it fits really tight so the phone is not going to fly out, however the spring clip feels kind of weak when attached to the duty belt, but if t\it was to fall off, nothing would happen to the phone as it is very rugged when in the holster.
[Droid X Accessories] Calvus Aquila:
Let us know how it holds up in a tussle. =)

But seriously be careful out there and thank you for your service.
[Droid X Accessories] SicMe:
First time poster...

Been looking for a case/holster also. GO TO BB, they have 3 EXCELLENT leather holsters for our Xs, 1 made by Eddie Bauer, $21, the other by HTC $31 and I forgot the 3rd. I went to Verizon and tried their origional X holdster and it looked too "bulky." Very disaponting. But those 3 cases I mentioned at BB, they fit very snug and perfectly. Im going for the HTC case later today and post pics up. Def worth the trip to BB. Oh, and the clip is very sturdy on all of them but def dont know if it will go over the utility belt...
[Droid X Accessories] HostileJava:
Has anyone found one that works with the cardock? The Motorola dock that verizon sells has an insert that pulls out that allows you to put the phone in still in the case. However I checked both verizon and motorola's website and can't find a case that motorola says will work with the dock. I bought a case that covers the back and slides into the holster from verizon (probably the same one sp1kez bought), but when trying to put the phone in the dock after removing the insert it hits on a tab that looks like it was intentionally put there to only allow using an "official" case with the dock.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pflatlyne:
Some people may have had problems with sprint refusing the give them their MSL code when they asked. In fact,one time at a sprint store,I got a refurb phone and when she was provisioning it,asked her for a pen,and then looked at her screen and wrote it down. She got very angry and demanded I give the paper to her and said I wasn't supposed to have that. I repeated it to myself several times memorizing it,then handed her the paper and said "What now?" Thats neither here nor there,but very satisfying (she looked like her head was about to explode)

Still,if you run into idiot employees like this,there is an easy way to get your MSL from sprint,even if they refuse to give it to you,because the fact is,when they are fixing a problem they HAVE to give it to you.

Call sprint. Tell them you cannot connect to the internet. They will ask you if it gives you an error code,tell them it gives you an error 67. They will want you to check the user name and password. If they don't,tell them that this happened to a guy at work and he said he called Sprint and they did something with his user-name and password or something. If that doesn't work,hang up and call back until you get someone who can read the trouble shooting scripts they give their phone reps. They will walk you through going into dialer,entering ##3282# and then it will ask for a password. They will GIVE you this password,that's your MSL. No need to argue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cath0dez:
I called tech support to check if there were tower outages causing my bad signal. At the end of the call I asked for my MSL code for future reference.

The standard support people might be hesitant about giving out the code because they are scared of things they don't understand. Tech support knows that giving out MSLs won't lead to anarchy in the streets.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Might as well just call and ask for the MSL outright first, if you're going to call back until you get the right person anyway. Most people say they get it on the first try or at least on the second. Also, CDMA Workshop took me all of 5 minutes to download, install, and retrieve my MSL.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plmiller0905:
I called Sprint like 3 or 4 times the other day trying to get my MSL, each time i spoke to adifferentperson and each time they refused to give it to me.

This post from the OP helped me outa lot. I got the MSL on the first call :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
i have heard from a few friends it seems to be harder to get your MSL code. I wonder if SPRINT is instructing them not to give it out or something in some call centers. I have never had a problem getting mine first try. i think the most i have ever been questioned about it was when someone asked me if i had had the code before. iw as like yep they give it to me with no problems all the time and she quickly read it off to me.

This seems like a nice trick if they are getting more strict on giving it out or maybe its jsut stupid employees as people have said.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamiller42:
It's amazing how well this works. I tried the direct route, just asking for it. Since there was no script for such a question, she simply said they don't give them out. I then said I am having internet troubles and want to verify my internet settings. This triggers the rep to follow a script which includes a step of giving you your MSL code. Go figure.

Hi all,

Just switched from xperia x1 winmo to galaxy.

I love my exchange and cant miss it.

So I set it up on the galaxy. Left it in good hsdpa coverage area over night for 8 hours after fully charging it. Battery now at 76%.

This is not so good... My xperia was significantly less consuming.

Moreover, sometimes push is sluggy. Some maols from this night only appeared after opening mail app.

I am quite disappointed...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_sith:
now it is 6h30 since 100% charge

Battery down to 33%

Android reports:

Display 36%

Battery in Standy 23%

Android OS 16%

Phone in Standby 15%

Android System 5%

Task Killer 4%

Maybe 5 mails arrived, opened mail app 3 times and 3-5 opened for very few minutes.

Had the phone in bad reception area (1-2 bars) most of the time.

Still, this is really bad!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
If you do a search, you will find many posts advising that the full potential of the battery will not be available until at least 5 complete cycles.

This means battery fully charged, then run to fully empty, then fully charger again, equals one cycle.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
this is bloody strange, I was thinking the more the battery gets heated up it looses it's lifetime!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_sith:
well, better now, but my old Xperia X1 still beats the **** out of the Galaxy in terms of battery & MS Exchange Sync reliability...

Samsung: 2 days only under optimal reception conditions

Xperia: 3 days any which way
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_sith:
new test from last night:

charged to 100%, clean reboot, exchange sync on

7 hours

=> -15% battery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_sith:
I conclude

The SGS does not survive one working day.

Recharging twice a day is not acceptable!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
I activated the push today so I will see how long it last

For the moment I am at 81% of battery and it has been unplugged for a little bit more than 3 hours

I watched also 20mn of french news so 57% of battery used by display :)

I think it could last the day if I don;t do anything to stressful
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ziostilon:
there is a very specific way to charge this battery right out the box to optimize its full potential ASAP
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
It's been now 9hours and I still have 43% of battery.

42% of display (2h11)

19% call (10mn)

Android system ( including sync) 15%

...

So for sure it won't last more than 1 day but you should be able to last 1 full business day

I even switch on the bluetooth to send some mp3 to my wife ( it failed ... she had my old iphone and I forgot it wasn't possible :)), the gps for few min ...

I am also listening music for around 2-3 hours

EDIT : by the way, I was in front of my laptop and half of the time the mail arrived before on my phone and I got all my mails
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_sith:
still got the JF3 ROM, but heard that newer ROMs may have trouble with Exchange.

Email works ok for me, but appointments sometimes take tooo long to sync.

My office is well-shielded (lots of steel), so only got 1-3 bars, sometimes switching HSDPA and EDGE.

However, my previous phone had to endure the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] igniztion:
7h18m since unplugged, battery at 74% still remaining.

Display: 49%

Cell Standby: 24%

Phone idle: 17%

Android System: 4%

- Exchange sync is on.

- 2x Google account, email, contact and calendar sync is on.

- Updated 4 apps from market.

- Display on for a bit more than 35 minutes in total since unplugged.

- Twitter and facebook sync is on. Refresh every 15 minutes.

- Weather service refresh every 2 hours.

I've still only once not had the phone last a full day on one charge, and I use it quite heavily. Playing games, taking pictures, reading feeds etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
I don't know what you call heavily but after 15h my battery is a 7%

I have 3h of display which takes already 38% of the battery

35mn in more than 7h is not what I would call heavy ... especially if you read, play games, take picture ... unless you do so with the screen switch off :D

now for the OP I guess this bad reception can explain the ewak battery but not the difference with the previous phone .... Just mean that the battery was better on the previous one
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_sith:
the SGS is useless.

My Xperia could do email & exchange sync better and browse some web pages.

The SGS has trouble with exchange (tasks!) and COULD do browsing and apps better. But if you actually start using it and looking at the superb screen, the battery runs empty quickly.

So what is the point in having this device? Honestly, this is quite frustrating.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_sith:
[Update]

9h20

100%->81%

radio: 74% (why does it translate to "Akku" in German?)

Telephone: 23%

Email: 2%

one email came in during that time
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eeney:
I just read of a guy on another forum who got 8 1/2 days out of one charge!!!!!

I'm getting about two days, had the phone three weeks and the battery has improved, at first I was loosing 30% in only a few hours. I initially starting turning off email, then once-per-hour to save battery, but now after a few charges I can leave both Gmail, gTasks, Exchange on push sync and a few widgets which update at regular intervals... I still get two days of average usage. Not like my old Nokia, but then again the Nokia was nothing like the SGS :D

Note, I do have a profile which turns off autosync between 23:00 and 06:00, and I use autokiller, but apart from that it all stock.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_sith:
now at another place with full bars most of the time:

11h40 since charging

50 minutes telephone call

=> 48%

69% goes to calling

22% radio standby

...

mails came in with 2-3 minute delay ... sometimes its rather instant ... well, WiMo and blackberry can do better
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
unfortunately, this is what major/ popular finger touch screen device deliver, be it Apple iPhone, HTC, and SGS.

I'm surprise to know Experia can last that long, is that the Winmo version that that uses stylus? the pressure-base (or rather stylus based) touch screen have a very long battery life.

PS: I have around 100 mails in 8 hrs, and my phone need a charge during lunch in order for it to support me until night.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
I was told that Blackberry Storm and Storm II have the same battery performance like iPhone and SGS.

WinMo 6.5 is using stylus based. I curious how long can WinMo 7 battery life last with that finger-touch based screen.
